Looking Back at a Step Forward is a State of the Church reflection on God’s faithfulness throughout 2025. While the year carried its share of challenges, loss, and growth, Hillside continued to move forward—not perfectly or quickly, but faithfully. This message walks through the journey of the year, celebrating how God strengthened faith, deepened roots, restored belonging, broke chains, and kept His promises. Before looking ahead to what’s next, the church pauses to remember, reflect, and intentionally release 2025—resting in the confidence that the God who ordered our steps will continue the good work He has begun.
